Alabama The Balanced State

...speaking of political balance (as I was in the previous post)...Alabama has been identified as one of the most politically balanced states by a new Gallup poll. The conclusion of the poll:

"The political landscape of the United States has clearly shifted in the Democratic direction, and in most states, a greater proportion of state residents identified as Democrats or said they leaned to the Democratic Party in 2008 than identified as Republicans or leaned Republican."

That's NOT true in Alabama. But the GOP advantage is just 1%. Sounds like the situation in the State Senate, where a conviction, a death, and an election to higher office have created a razor-thin advantage for someone. We'll discuss it Friday at 9:00pm on a one-hour long legislative preview edition of FTR. The next to last FTR, come to think of it.
